Myron Boadu appeared after the quarterfinals won with the Juniors of Young France (2-1) as naturally very happy for the camera at NOS. The AZ striker personally ensured that the the Dutch squad came back from a backlog with two goals. Boadu admitted that his last goal was not quite intended, but Theo Janssen had not.
“These are the best goals to score,” said Boadu, who slid into a Justin Kluivert cross in the final seconds. “I think everyone could see that I didn’t hit the ball well at 2-1. A little with the heel, but I couldn’t do much else either. This was the best thing to do, because the goalkeeper already had the others. I didn’t really know what to do next. First I checked if it was offside and then I just ran towards the boys. It was all joy. I was shocked because the players kept coming. I am so happy that we were able to do this as a team. “
Logically, Boadu couldn’t be happier. “This evening is also very important for myself. As a striker you need moments like this. I have to be on the highest podium at a tournament of my age. Now it is up to me to show that I cannot do this one game. , but several. I don’t necessarily have to be in the game to score. “

In the studio of the NOS Janssen responded with a wink to the interview. “Boadu saying he hit him a little bit wrong … Just don’t say it!” Said the former midfielder. “Just say you hit him right. We’d all do it that way, but he thinks he hit him wrong. This was the only way to get that ball in. If you pass through or shoot tighter, you shoot four, five yards. next. Just say the next time it was aware. “
Apart from his two goals, Boadu did not play great according to Janssen. “He didn’t play such a good game from a football point of view. He scores twice and then we are quickly satisfied with a striker, but in football it was poor. He played quite sloppily. Rafael (van der Vaart, ed.) even a message: well, he doesn’t really play well, does he. I think he is also critical of himself. There are times in the game when he just loses the ball way too easily. As a striker, you need to be able to hold the ball so that people can move around it. He has a lot of trouble with that, he often loses those balls. “
